Hi all of you

  • I know that a spectator is someone regularly watches a sports game.
  • I also know that a ‘theatre-goer’ (in AmE 'theater-goer) is someone often goes to the theatre to see a play.

Now how would call someone who regularly goes the opera, cinema or pop concert.

Thanks
Alexandro

An audience-member/member of the audience.
In the case of someone who goes to display-type shows (circuses, etc,) a spectator or an audience-member/member of the audience.

Thanks again!

I usually tell my students that
if you go to see a music show, a film, or a play, you are the AUDIENCE
If you watch sport event, you are SPECTATOR
IF you watch TV, you are the viewer

AM I CORRECT?

5

Yes, you are correct, except that unless there in only one person in the audience, you are part of the audience or an audience-member. One person is not usually the audience in its entirety.

At a display you might be considered to be part of the audience or a spectator, depending on the event.
